they're gone, and that had a big impact. thousands of workers were denied access, thousands because of the expiration of the expansion of trade adjustment assistance. for example, more than 1,000 services sector workers in both texas and virginia were denied t.a.a. benefits when the 2009 law expired earlier this year. these workers likely would be eligible under the trade adjustment assistance compromise i negotiated with chairman camp. chairman david camp, chairman of the house ways and means committee and i and our staffs spent a lot of time getting an agreement, an agreement on trade adjustment assistance, what the provisions should be, how far the expansion should go and how it should be paid for. it was an agreement, a bipartisan agreement. there is not much of that around here, madam chairman, but we worked hard and got the job done. i must say, however, under senator mccain's amendment, these workers i mentioned, these service workers would remain shut out. they would qualify. so i think, rather, it's time to bring us

that's a big difference between germany and the u.s.. let's take a look at this report. >> the united states chooses immigrants on the needs of business. typically legal immigrants to the u.s. are highly qualified. in germany, things are different. most current immigrants are family members of previous ones, and often they are unskilled. that's especially true among the some 4 million muslim immigrants in germany. more than 40% of them live from state support such as welfare. if germany had the same immigration standards as the u.s., 90% of the muslim imgrants never would have been allowed into the country in the first place. >> so, does germany need immigration, but a different kind of immigration? >> well, i think that's in the future generally impact needs immigration because we will be at full employment because we hardly have any young people coming and most of the old people leave the labor market and retire. we will have the gap when it comes to the labor force, but i think it's -- we will have a problem getting imgrants to come t

very big structural reform. one of the reasons we have 20 years of continuous growth is because government and members of this house have found out the market-based reform which has given us a strength and resilience which has served us well, and that has given us 20 continuous years of growth. and this is a reform that we must embark on to ensure that we have another 20 years of continuous growth and not fall far behind the rest of the world. and that is why economists like nicholas stone, economist like ross kano are telling us that there is a fundamental problem here that must be fixed, and the problem is that the largest polluters just continue the pollution into the atmosphere, and that has cost. it has cost of the environment. it has cost of the community and it has a cost to our economy. that is why we must have a market-based approach to deal with it. we need to give the largest polluters the incentive to reduce carbon pollution and that is what we have to do. that is why we described this as a fundament
